Of course there are many ways we can reuse something. We can dye it. We can cut it. We can change the buttons. Those are other ways to make it alive. But this is a new step to use anything - hats, socks, shirts. It's the first step in the process.

The purpose - where I start - is the idea of use. It is not recycling, it's reuse.

Reducing and reusing take nothing more than a rethink on the way we shop, and using our imagination with the things that we might once have considered junk.

You make 'em, I amuse 'em.

As a kid, I remember taking apart whatever I could get my hands on.

A good use for me is to let me go away with my sewing machine and come back with some really new stuff.

I think I've probably re-invented myself three or four times now, if that's what one calls it.

I've learned to keep a lot of stuff to myself.

I grew up around old stuff that was not necessarily valuable, but certainly unusual.

I was put in remedial everything.
